Chapter 53 "Do you want to...try to like me?"
Lu Yu walked steadily step by step. Lin Che in his arms was drunk but did not make any noise. His fair little face was stained with alcohol, and he buried his head obediently in Lu Yu's chest.
Carefully placing the drunken little snowball on the soft sofa, Lin Che sank into it, his eyes still hazy, his body limp as if boneless.
"Just sit there for a while, I'll get some water to wipe your face." Lu Yu leaned over and rubbed his hot earlobe, his voice low and soft.
Lin Che didn't react much, just blinked in confusion, her long eyelashes wet with tears.
Lu Yu turned around and walked quickly into the bathroom, turned on the hot water faucet, soaked a thick and soft towel in warm water, and wrung it dry carefully.
He moved quickly, his mind on the drunk cat outside.
However, when he walked out of the bathroom carrying the basin, the scene before him made him pause, and his eyes were instantly filled with a helpless and doting smile.
The sofa is empty.
Looking down, I saw that Lin Che had slid down from the sofa at some point and was sitting cross-legged on the thick, long-pile carpet.
He lowered his head, resting his forehead on the edge of the sofa, and his soft black hair was scattered in front of his forehead in a messy manner.
I don’t know if he felt the carpet was more comfortable, or if he simply couldn’t sit still and slid down.
Lin Che curled up into a ball, his profile made look even softer and more innocent against the fluff of the carpet. From Lu Yu's perspective, he could see his red ears and a small part of his neck that was also pink.
Lu Yu sighed silently, walked over with the basin of water, and gently placed it on the low table next to the sofa.
He knelt on one knee in front of Lin Che, the soft pile of the carpet sinking slightly.
The large palm, with warm body temperature, carefully cupped Lin Che's tilted cheek and gently straightened his heavy little head.
"Cheche?" Lu Yu called him in a low voice.
Lin Che was forced to look up. Her face was incredibly red, like a ripe peach, and even the corners of her eyes were dyed an intoxicating crimson.
His eyes were still unfocused, unable to find focus, and his misty eyes looked blankly in the direction of Lu Yu.
His nostrils twitched slightly due to drunkenness, and his lips appeared particularly rosy and plump, slightly open, unconsciously exhaling a breath of sweet osmanthus fragrance.
This look of complete dependence, defenselessness, confusion and cuteness made Lu Yu breathe lighter.
He couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch the equally hot and soft cheek of Lin Che. The feeling was just as he imagined.
"Are you stupid?"
Lin Che seemed to be attracted by the touch on his cheek. He did not answer the question of "stupid or not", but slowly raised one hand and covered it with Lu Yu's big hand that was pinching his face.
His fingertips were slightly cold, and his movements were clumsy and persistent, coming from a drunken stupor. He pressed gently and firmly on the back of Lu Yu's hand, as if confirming his presence.
The emotions in his eyes were complex and difficult to discern, like shimmering water, and deep within seemed to be surging many things that Lu Yu could not interpret at the moment, all obscured by the heavy drunkenness, hazy and unclear.
Lu Yu's heart tightened, thinking he was feeling unwell. He immediately released his hand from pinching Lin Che's face and used his palm to feel the temperature of his forehead. He asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell? Dizzy? Or nauseous?"
His other hand was being held down by Lin Che, so he tried to pull it out to grab the hot towel on the low table: "Be good, wipe your face first, it will make you feel better."
Just as Lu Yu straightened up slightly and was about to reach for the towel, the little hand that had been pressing on the back of his hand suddenly burst out with amazing strength and tightened suddenly!
Lin Che's five fingers tightly grasped Lu Yu's fingers, and the knuckles turned slightly white due to the force.
This sudden movement stopped Lu Yu from getting up. The force was so great that it even had a bit of stubbornness that could not be refused.
Lu Yu froze in his tracks, looking down at Lin Che in surprise.
Only his figure was clearly reflected in those misty drunken eyes.
Lin Che raised her flushed face, her eyes no longer completely blank, but instead condensed into an intense yet fragile light that pierced directly into Lu Yu's deep eyes.
He moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but the alcohol blocked his words in his throat.
"No……"
Lin Che's voice was unclear, with a heavy nasal tone and a barely perceptible tremor, more like an unconscious whimper.
He did not relax his grip on Lu Yu's fingers at all.
“Don’t…go…”
Lin Che's tearful words, "Don't go," accurately pierced the softest part of Lu Yu's heart, instantly shattering all of Lu Yu's composure.
"No."
He no longer tried to get up to get the towel, but instead, with Lin Che holding his fingers tightly, he put his other arm through Lin Che's knees and carefully and forcefully lifted him up from the carpet.
Lin Che's body was light and soft, warm and soft after drinking, and she was obediently carried back to the large sofa by Lu Yu.
Lu Yu did not put him down and leave. Instead, he knelt on one knee on the thick carpet at the edge of the sofa, leaned forward, and took Lin Che, who had sat down again, into his broad and warm arms.
Lu Yu's arms were firmly and powerfully wrapped around Lin Che's waist and back, holding him against his chest, his chin resting lightly on the top of his soft head.
Lin Che's cheek was forced to rest between Lu Yu's neck and shoulder blades. The steady heartbeat and familiar scent of cedar coming from there seemed to relax his tense body a little.
Lu Yu felt the person in his arms calm down, but the fabric around his shoulders and neck felt slightly cool and damp.
He was startled, moved a little further away and looked down.
Lin Che closed her eyes, her long eyelashes wet with tears, and clusters of tears were sliding silently down the corners of her red eyes.
Lin Che didn't cry out loud, but just shed tears quietly without even realizing it.
The sight of her silently shedding tears made Lu Yu more nervous than any crying.
He felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, hanging high in the air, and every beat was accompanied by a dull pain.
"Cheche?"
Lu Yu's voice was extremely soft and gentle, and he used the tip of his thumb to very gently wipe away the tears on Lin Che's cheek.
"Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Hmm?"
He stared at Lin Che's tightly closed eyes, his thick eyelashes trembling, and a few new tears were squeezed out.
Lin Che did not answer "Are you comfortable?", but only let out a few broken mutters from the depths of his throat.
"Lu Yu... Lu Yu..."
The voice was soft and light, intermittent, but repeated stubbornly.
"I am here."
Lu Yu hugged Lin Che tighter, making his body fit completely against his own, and rubbed his chin gently against the top of his soft head, repeating this over and over again.
"Cheche, I'm here."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"I'm not going anywhere. I'm right here, with you."
Lu Yu's warm palm gently patted Lin Che's thin back. Lin Che's grip on his fingers seemed to finally loosen a little, and his body was no longer so stiff.
He still had his eyes closed, his cheek pressed against Lu Yu's neck, and his tears seemed to flow slower, leaving only slight sobs.
Lin Che's subtle sobs gradually subsided, leaving only his long, warm breaths, tinged with alcohol, gently brushing against the skin on Lu Yu's neck. He closed his eyes, his cheek buried deep in the crook of Lu Yu's neck.
Just when Lu Yu thought that the person in his arms had fallen asleep and slightly relaxed his embrace, preparing to lay him flat on the sofa, Lin Che's lips began to move gently again.
This time, the voice was softer, more vague, heavily nasal and sleepy, almost breathy.
Lu Yu didn't hear clearly, he just felt the warm breath brushing across his skin.
"Cheche?" Lu Yu thought he was feeling unwell again. He tilted his head slightly, put his ear closer to Lin Che's lips, and lowered his voice very low, "What did you say?"
Lin Che frowned and unconsciously nudged Lu Yu's neck. With a feeling of grievance and a subtle bitterness, her broken mumbling finally became a little clearer and drifted into Lu Yu's ears intermittently:
"Are you...so nice...to others?"
Lu Yu's body suddenly stiffened.
He pulled away a little and stared down at Lin Che's sleeping face with her eyes closed and tiny tears hanging on her eyelashes.
That rosy face was full of naiveté and unreserved trust at the moment, but it also revealed the uneasiness hidden deep in the heart.
Lu Yu's heart softened. He didn't answer immediately, but leaned over and gently kissed the corner of Lin Che's slightly open mouth.
"No," his voice was low and clear, each word sounding like the most solemn promise, hammering at the edge of Lin Che's chaotic consciousness, "I'm only this good to Cheche."
The moment Lu Yu finished speaking, Lin Che's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!
Before Lu Yu could react to this sudden change, he saw Lin Che burst out with strength from nowhere, and suddenly put his hands on his chest and pushed hard!
Lu Yu was caught off guard. His kneeling position on one knee was already unstable, and he was completely unprepared for Lin Che. He was pushed backward by the drunk cat and fell onto the thick and soft carpet.
Lin Che, taking advantage of the reaction force of this push, flipped his body flexibly and sat directly on Lu Yu's waist and abdomen!
Lu Yu was completely stunned, and for the first time, surprise was clearly reflected in his deep eyes.
Lin Che sat on him condescendingly, a little shaky due to being drunk, but her wet, startlingly red eyes were fixed on Lu Yu.
He panted slightly, his chest rising and falling, and then he made a move that made Lu Yu's breathing stop suddenly -
Lin Che stretched out her slender white fingers and grabbed the tie that Lu Yu had not yet taken off and was casually draped across his chest!
He grasped the silky tie tightly in his hand and pulled it down with irresistible force!
Lu Yu was caught off guard, and his upper body was pushed forward by this force. The distance between the two of them was instantly shortened to the point where they could hear each other's breathing.
Lin Che's face, flushed with drunkenness and with traces of tears still lingering on it, yet still extremely stubborn, was extremely clear in Lu Yu's suddenly dilated pupils.
The hand holding his tie trembled slightly, the tears in his eyes almost overflowed, and his voice was filled with broken sobs and a kind of desperate courage. Every word seemed to roll down from the top of his heart and hit Lu Yu's eardrum:
"Lu Yu..."
He sniffed, and the hot tears finally fell again, "Do you want to... try to like me?"
The air seemed to freeze.
Lu Yu looked up at Lin Che, who was sitting astride him, tears in his eyes, but he was extremely brave and pulled his tie to ask for his "like".
Those wet eyes, washed by tears, clearly reflected his shocked and moved face.
Time seemed to be stretched infinitely.
Lu Yu ignored his tight tie and didn't try to get up.
He raised a hand, but did not wipe the tears from Lin Che's face. Instead, he leaned forward slightly as Lin Che tightened his tie, and his warm lips gently touched the corners of Lin Che's moist and red eyes.
Lu Yu stepped back a little, still staring deeply into Lin Che's eyes.
He spoke slowly, his gaze fixed on Lin Che's tearful and uneasy eyes, "This isn't liking, Cheche. This is love."
The light in Lin Che's eyes suddenly dimmed, and the fingers gripping his tie suddenly tightened, his knuckles turning white, and tears instantly seeped out from the corners of his eyes.
Lu Yu raised his other hand, and gently held Lin Che's hot cheek with his warm palm. He gently stroked the corners of his wet eyes with the tip of his thumb, wiping away the tears that kept flowing.
"Then... do you love me?" Lin Che's voice was broken, trembling with disbelief and a last faint trace of confirmation. Tears blurred her vision, but she stubbornly refused to look away, staring at Lu Yu's deep eyes.
Lu Yu held his cheek with a little force, forcing him to look at him more clearly.
The corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a smile, without a trace of frivolity, only the solemnity of unswerving determination.
His voice was low and slow, and every word was clearly imprinted on Lin Che's heart:
"like."
He paused for a second, his eyes burning, "From the beginning to the end, I will only love Lin Che."
He raised his head slightly, shortening the final distance. His warm breath brushed Lin Che's lips, carrying the chill of cedar and a scent that belonged only to him. The last two words fell steadily:
"forever."
The word "forever" was like a final pardon, instantly draining Lin Che's tense nerves and the last bit of strength he had left.
His fingers gripping the tie suddenly loosened, and his entire body seemed to have all its bones pulled out in an instant. He fell forward softly, and his forehead hit Lu Yu's solid chest heavily.
The hot cheek was pressed against Lu Yu's heart, and he could clearly feel the steady and powerful heartbeat, again and again, like the most reassuring drumbeat.
Lu Yu lowered his head to look at Lin Che who was lying on his chest without saying a word, but he didn't expect Lin Che to suddenly kiss him.
Lin Che's kiss was completely random and her teeth hit Lu Yu's lower lip, causing a slight sting.
Relying solely on the burning impulse in his body, he pressed hard and roughly against Lu Yu's lips, grinding and sucking.
His movements were hasty and without any skill, he only knew how to ask for and confirm in the most primitive way.
Lin Che's breathing was hot and disordered, carrying the sweet fragrance of osmanthus wine and the salty taste of tears, all sprayed between Lu Yu's lips and teeth.
Those eyes, wet from drunkenness and crying, were now tightly closed, and the long eyelashes trembled violently.
Lu Yu was completely frozen.
He was kneeling on one knee, with Lin Che straddling him and pressing him down on the carpet. The back of his head was even slightly sunken into the soft fur because he had been pushed down just now.
The touch on the lips was clumsy, even a little rough, and the slight pain from the teeth knocking against each other was extremely clear.
This kiss, which was completely unskillful, had a more devastating impact than any skillful teasing.
The initial shock lasted only a few tenths of a second.
Then, a surging wave, powerful enough to burn all rationality, broke through all of Lu Yu's restraint!
The arm he had wrapped around Lin Che's waist suddenly tightened!
The other hand, which was originally hanging in the air with some hesitation, suddenly plunged into Lin Che's soft black hair. The warm and broad palm tightly clasped the back of Lin Che's head, preventing him from any possibility of retreating. At the same time, it also fixed this chaotic and disorderly "bite" deeper and more firmly on his lips!
Lu Yu is no longer a passive sufferer.
He turned the tables, like a long-dormant beast that finally waited for the best opportunity to hunt.
His slightly opened lips no longer just endured the reckless crushing, but forcefully started the real plunder.
He accurately caught the gap between Lin Che's lips that was slightly opened due to his eager breathing, and his flexible tongue, like the most cunning hunter, invaded that warm and moist territory in an instant with unquestionable strength!
“Hmm…”
Lin Che seemed startled by this sudden and deeper invasion. A short and vague whimper escaped from her throat, and her body subconsciously tried to struggle back.
But Lu Yu's hands tightly clasped the back of his head and his arms were wrapped around his waist. Lu Yu's kiss was different from Lin Che's random kissing. His kiss was truly passionate and aggressive.
The sharp scent of cedar and the faint smell of tobacco, mixed with the sweetness of osmanthus wine and the unique clean scent of Lin Che, exchanged and merged madly between the two people's tightly intertwined lips and teeth.
Lu Yu's breathing also became heavy and hot, spraying on Lin Che's already hot cheeks.
This kiss was no longer Lin Che's clumsy unilateral test, but turned into a deep kiss that was absolutely dominated by Lu Yu and was so intense that it was suffocating.
It vividly engulfed all of Lin Che's senses, completely draining and melting his remaining consciousness and strength.
Lin Che's initial struggle quickly vanished under this powerful plunder.
The hand that was holding Lu Yu's tie had already loosened, and now it hung limply on the carpet beside him, curled up slightly.
He could only passively endure it and be led by Lu Yu into this surging tide of emotions.
He opened his lips slightly, enduring Lu Yu's almost fierce demands, and occasionally a few tiny and vague whimpers came out from the depths of his throat, and it was hard to tell whether it was discomfort or sinking.
Those beautiful eyes were tightly closed, the long eyelashes were wet with tears, and they trembled helplessly in the fierce kiss. The blush on her cheeks had already spread to the depths of her neck.
The only thing left in the air is...
Lu Yu's palm felt the amazing heat and slight trembling of Lin Che's delicate skin on his waist and back through the thin clothes.
The heat seemed to burn through his palms and into every part of his body, igniting a deeper desire. His fingers gripping the back of Lin Che's head tightened unconsciously.
Their lips suddenly parted, Lu Yu gasped rapidly, his chest heaving violently, his deep eyes filled with a strong desire that had not yet completely faded.
Lin Che lost her support and fell back softly, but was held tightly in Lu Yu's arms.
He seemed to have been completely exhausted by this kiss that was so intense that it was beyond his endurance. His eyes were dazed and out of focus, he was breathing heavily, and his lips were slightly swollen from the kiss, with a moist luster.
He opened his eyes blankly, looking at Lu Yu's face close to him, which was also breathing unsteadily.
After a few seconds of suffocating silence.
Lin Che's eyelashes trembled violently for a few times, and then those beautiful eyes slowly, slowly closed.
His thick eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes. His head tilted and he completely lost consciousness. He collapsed softly and defenselessly into Lu Yu's arms.
This time, he really fell into a deep sleep.
